On 28 November, 13 were wounded after Abdul Razak Ali ARTAN (18), a Somali refugee attending Ohio State University, rammed a Honda Civic into pedestrians near Watts Hall at the university, and then widely slashed at them with a butcher knife. About a minute, a police officer engaged ARTAN and killed him. Prior to the attack, ARTAN wrote a Facebook rant denouncing U.S. foreign policy and referencing Anwar AL-AWLAKI. ISIS and other terrorist groups have urged Muslims to conduct vehicle terror attacks, and in July 2016, dozens were killed following a truck attack in Nice, France. The Islamic State later claimed that ARTAN was a soldier of the group.

As this case shows, we will reach half-way around the world if necessary to hold accountable those who engage in this type of activity." - Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin, 23 September 2016.
